WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
1. Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the
oesophagus.
2. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek
immediate medical attention
3. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the
screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.
4. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s oesophagus (food pipe). There are no
specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:
• cough, gag or drool a lot;
• appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
• be sick;
• point to their throat or stomach;
• have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
• be tired or lethargic;
• be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
• lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
• does not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate
medical help.
The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the
products that contain them.
3. GENERAL INFORMATION

Always ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface.
Please note: Used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound which is related to
the operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
If this product experiences a power surge for whatever reason the product may cut-out. This is a normal safety feature and the
product will resume operation after 30 seconds.
Once installed, never move this appliance or lay on its back, without draining the water from sump and water tank.
If you intend not using the appliance for longer than 2 weeks, drain the water from sump and water tank and dry the sump.
The water tank, sump, sump lid, tank cap and air filters must be cleaned once every two weeks, particularly in hard water areas.
